Two former dancers have filed a lawsuit against Shen Yun Performing Arts, alleging that the prestigious dance company has built its financial success through the exploitation of child laborers subjected to harsh conditions. This legal action follows previous reports detailing the treatment of performers and improper financial practices associated with the organization, affiliated with the Falun Gong movement. The company, which flaunts its cultural heritage through dance performances, also reportedly faces federal investigations into potential visa fraud and labor law violations, raising serious questions about its operations and ethical standards.
The lawsuit accuses Shen Yun Performing Arts of amassing a fortune through the exploitation of child laborers, highlighting brutal working conditions and psychological coercion.
According to the complaint, dancers endured extensive hours under harsh conditions for minimal pay, while Shen Yun reportedly accrued $266 million in assets by 2023.
